22 Do not rob the poor because they are pooror trample on the rights of an oppressed person at the city gate,
23 because the Lord will plead their caseand will take the lives of those who rob them.
24 Do not be a friend of one who has a bad temper,and never keep company with a hothead,
25 or you will learn his waysand set a trap for yourself.
26 Do not be ⌊found⌋ among those who make deals with a handshake,among those who guarantee other people’s loans.
27 If you have no money to pay back a loan,why should your bed be repossessed?
